Deep Water Culture

[Bubble]

I've been using DWC for a few years now, though I didn't know it had a name

 

I used to use white buckets that Kitty Litter came in - very similar to greek feta buckets or yoghurt buckets but much bigger (if you know what i mean...) 10L 's (from memory - dubious prospect ) they came with a lid that I used to cut an X into and stuff the root basket thingie in there. Held them in place really well, no worry about holes being too big or whatever. Very self contained little model

 

but over time the buckets deteriorated around their perimetre so i switched to a largish black plastic (Nylex brand?) utility box with a loose lid that i cut 2 holes for grow baskets. Mary's roots just swim in the water/nutrients, lots of room to move and a couple of air hoses to keep things moving about and providing oxygen.

 

I've never had any trouble with anything, even though i am as thick as 2x4 and slack with it Currently I have a Durban PoisonX Skunk Haze and a Durban Poison revegging and hope a cutting from DPXSH survives as it is my first cross

 

I use a SonT 400 and MegaBloom A&B Veg NPK: 30:9:15

and Flow NPK: 3.5:30:12.5.

 

 

cheers,
